Who's your back up center...Weary?

Hasn't Kubiak only carried 2 QBs on the 53 man roster? Has he indicated that he plans to deviate from this this year?

That was the story during the Quinn Gray experiment....that not having someone behind Sage last year when Schaub was out really scared him. Kubiak claimed he was a changed man and wanted to have three QB's this year....I never bought it. I just assumed that was just spin until a deal for Sage was final. That never happened and they released Gray. It will be interesting to see if he does go with three.

I think it's possible that Brink beats out Boyd if he does.

If he truly wanted a number 3 behind Sage, Gray seems like he would have been a perfect candidate. I can't imagine why we would cut Gray if we wanted a third QB on the roster. I'll be very surprised if we carry a third QB (and will be second guessing our release of Gray).

The team never said it, but McClain referred to Gray not bothering to learn the playbook, it was inferred that Gray was sign to be Schaubs backup and Sage would be traded, and when that did not happen Gray pouted.

Kubiak never called him out in public, but let him go, and the last I saw he had not been resigned anywhere.

Brisiel is the backup C. With Weary or Studdard taking the RG spot. It was really a tough decision for me to pick Studdard over White, who can play C and G, but I just have a feeling that Studdard isnt going anywhere. He was on the roster all year and when they brought Brisiel up Studdard was still playing second fiddle. I hate to say it but I think the personal relationship there is too much to see him not on the 53. Im not saying he doesnt have potential but when you get beat out by a guy that was on the PS most of the year and you werent it cant be good.

I put 3 QB's up because Kubes said that he didnt want to be down to just 1 QB. I believe that you can declare an emergency QB that doesnt count towards the active roster limit on gameday, he just has to be on the 53 man roster. Which makes carrying and using a 3rd easier.

I picked Boyd over Brinks because he has time in the system, and I think Kubes would be a bit more comfy with him as the #3 to start the season. If the team wants the PS space Brinks would take for someone else more than the added value of Boyd I could see him on the roster, but that is pretty out there.

I forgot that he has OC time in Europe also. That could mean Eslinger is off my list and Frye or Studdard make the team. If you use Kubiak's quotes then Studdard is in.

BTW I used the same logic when picking my QBs, Boyd has more time in the system, and will have to be really bad to not get the #3 nod, if he does take 3 QBs.

Nice piece PK. I agree, I don't think Faggins makes this team, (at least I hope not!).

I cant find it, but I could have sworn he actually played C for us the last game or two last year also.
